Forsyth County residents are eagerly anticipating the arrival of a new entertainment project called ‘The Gathering’. The new development will include a variety of amenities that cater to the community’s needs, as well as a few exciting new additions that are sure to draw in visitors from all around.
The project is worth over $1 billion and will include a range of different elements, including housing, shops, a large concert space, and even a 1.2 mile connective trail along the Big Creek Greenway. Additionally, there will be 1.6 million square feet of office and retail space, 750,000 square feet of arena space that can seat up to 18,500 people, and a 100,000 square foot community center. The development will also house a 7500 square foot fire station, 450 hotel rooms with meeting space, and 2400 residential units.
One of the most exciting elements of the project is the potential for a professional hockey team to be attracted to Georgia. The inclusion of an arena with such a large capacity could make the area a tempting destination for sports teams, and this could be a major boon for the local economy. Residents are also hopeful that the development will include access to MARTA shuttles, which could make travel in and out of the area much more convenient in the future.
Of course, with such a massive undertaking, funding is a crucial concern. Plans for funding remain uncertain until further discussions with board members take place next month. However, the development seems to be generating a lot of buzz, and it’s no wonder why. The sheer scale of ‘The Gathering’ promises to make it a destination that people will flock to from all around the state and beyond.
Naturally, there are some concerns about whether such a large development will be in keeping with the existing character of the area. Some people worry that traffic will become overwhelming, and that the sheer scale of the project will be a burden on the community. Nevertheless, many are optimistic about the possibilities that this development could bring.
Overall, the plan for ‘The Gathering’ is shaping up to be one of the most significant developments in Forsyth County’s recent history. The scale of the project is jaw-dropping, and its potential to benefit the community is enormous. In a region that is rapidly growing and changing, it’s exciting to see such a major investment being made.
